This morning I did a heat up test and did a video once it was fully warmed up & running.
@5 minutes 110 F at base - Water sizzling
@8.5 minutes 150 F at base - Whistle working
@10 minutes 179 F at base - Running under steam
@12~15 minutes ~200 F at base - Full Steam and runs like a bat out of hell!
Shortly after this she is at full power and no evidence of slowing her down. Even engaging for a number of seconds the whistle only slows her down a bit. Once whistle is close she recovers and bounces back to full stream speed. Another thing, when I remove the power she will keep running for a number of minutes. My other B31 does this too but not to the not to the extent of this B31 with the Injected Mould Heating Element Band Heater.
The video shows my temperature gun taking some readings but take a look on how fast she goes! Poor little guy with no sight glass
